Is there anything cozier than cranking up your fireplace on a cold winter's day (or even a cool summer evening)? Whether wood-burning or gas, it's always a good (read: safe) idea to contain the flames with a fireplace screen. Though I love an ornate brass peacock screen as much as the next guy, it's not always simple to find a streamline, contemporary version to coordinate with a more modern room design. We did a little virtual shopping, and came up with these 14 beautiful options.

Though the style of this screen might read a little less contemporary and a little more old-world, its fish-scale motif would fit in just as beautifully into a traditional space as it would a modern living room.

Dimensions: 39"W x 30.5"H x 8"D

Frame material: Powder-coated iron

Another chameleon screen that play nice with many different styles, including a contemporary space. The doors give you easy access to the fire should you need it without having to handle hot metal during use.

Geometric designs have a way of feeling familiar yet modern. The antique silver finish on this screen's frame also throws in a glam touch. Note that this won't ship until March 2017, but the wait is probably worth it!

Definitely one of the most contemporary screens in this lineup (also seen in this post's lead image), the 1/4" tempered glass and subdued stainless steel feet basically disappear (while still keeping embers out of your living room). Note that this needs to be placed at least 16" away from the the fire.

If I had to pick an definite favorite from our roster, this might have to be it. Sure, it comes at a hefty price tag, but if I were looking to invest $ in my fireplace accessories, I'd probably have this in my cart already.
